supplemental grant will be awarded for

the second phase of the research,

ranging from 12–24 months, the award

amount dependent on the work

required.

The first phase of research will

include: a conceptual description of the

16 DCPO drug court sites; development

of comprehensive descriptive,

historical, and attitudinal data about

drug court programs; and measurement

of the data available for program

evaluation. As part of phase one

researchers will develop a viable

strategy for evaluating program impact

and success that will serve as a proposal

for the supplemental grant to be

awarded for phase two of the research.

Phase two of the research will assess

the success of the drug courts at meeting

their goals, including: desistance from

criminal behavior and drug use,

retention in treatment, and changes in

life circumstances and productivity.

Interested organizations should call

the National Criminal Justice Reference

Service (NCJRS) at 1–800–851–3420 to

NUCLEAR REGULATORY

COMMISSION

[Docket Nos. STN 50–454 AND STN 50–456]

Commonwealth Edison Company;

Notice of Withdrawal of Application for

Amendment to Facility Operating

Licenses

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory

Commission (the Commission) has

granted the request of Commonwealth

Edison Company (the licensee) to

withdraw its January 31, 1997,

application for proposed amendments to

Facility Operating License Nos. NPF–37

and NPF–66, for Byron Station, Units 1

and 2, located in Ogle County, Illinois.

The proposed amendment would

have modified the facility technical

specifications (TS) to reduce the Byron,

Unit 1, limiting TS value for the primary

coolant dose equivalent iodine-131

(DEI) concentration from 0.35 to 0.20

microcuries per gram. The intent of this

proposed TS revision was to limit the

offsite dose at the exclusion area

boundary to a small fraction of the

radiation exposure guidelines in 10 CFR

Part 100. In the interim, ComEd

performed an operability assessment

and administratively reduced the Byron,

Unit 1, DEI to 0.20 microcuries per

gram. On November 7, 1997, ComEd

started its Byron, Unit 1, fall 1997

refueling outage during which the steam

generators (SG) are being replaced. The

replacement SG begin installed at

Byron, Unit 1, will not have the

relatively large end of cycle SG tube

leakage attributed to the original SG.

Accordingly, the license amendment

requests submitted on January 31, 1997,

was no longer needed.

The Commission had previously

issued a Notice of Consideration of

Issuance of Amendment published in

the Federal Register on March 12, 1997,

(62 FR 11489). However, by letter dated

November 11, 1997, the licensee

withdrew the proposed change.

For further details with respect to this

action, see the application for

amendment dated January 31, 1997, and

the licensee’s letter dated November 11,

1997, which withdrew the application

for the license amendments. The above

documents are available for public

inspection at the Commission’s Public

Document Room, the Gelman Building,

2120 L Street, NW., Washington, DC,

and at the local public document room

located at the Byron Public Library

District, 109 N. Franklin, P.O. Box 434,

Byron, Illinois 60481.

Dated at Rockville, Maryland, this 8th day

of January, 1998.

For the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

M. David Lynch,

Senior Project Manager, Project Directorate

III–2, Division of Reactor Projects—III/IV,
